Best Vehicle we ever owned

I never thought I would say this, but this is the most reliable vehicle we owned. We bought it used (110k mi) intending to keep 3-4 years, and still have it after 7. Looked at Ford, GM and Toyota, but the Voyager had the best ride, interior and styling. Transmission was repaired for a seal leak. Otherwise no problems with 190k miles today. Very smooth and quiet, comfortable ride. Nice interior and styling. A real dependable workhorse for us. 3.8 engine is smooth and reliable. Pulls a camper easily. Great gas mileage!

Expresso is o.k....

We've owned the van for 4 years and haven't had any significant problems until recently when it was found the dual electric fans were out. It'll cost close to $800 to replace at the dealership and there are indications that the lack of fans working (we don't know how long) has caused damage to the transmission...not sure how much that will cost. Overall the 3.3L engine has worked great, and we've enjoyed it for long trips. I want to like purchasing American vehicles and know my hard earned cash is going into a quality product, but I have to admit my next van may be a Honda Odyssey based on reliability. I don't think Chrysler is able to change its ways toward producing a quality product.

NOT TOO BAD

I got the van used at 136K in the beginning of April, 2005. I knew it would need some work even though the previous owner said nothing. The first week, the fan belt came off. Needed a gasket replacement and a new thermostat where the coolant area is (coolant sprayed onto the belt, making the belt slip right off); it’s the second week and I decided to find out everything that is wrong with it through the dealership. I was told it needs a cam-seal and a valve gasket cover because of two oil leaks (dealership cost $400). My dad and I are going to do the work. Yeah, it does have some problems but the van runs smooth still and every vehicle has some type of problem here or there. Not too bad of a van

Voyager is Fine

Have enjoyed owning and driving this car. Used for several long trips and is easy getting in and out, plus great visibility. Highway mileage has been above 20 mpg, and around town about 16 mpg, which has been acceptable considering the usefulness of this body style. Have owned over a dozen other vehicles and this rates most useful overall, and still fairly comfortable on the road. Will admit that small things have quit, but so far the only biggie is the A/C. Too bad we didn't keep up the warranty.

The worst car in the world. The 10th day I had the piece of S%*# the transmission went bad. Everything imaginable as gone wrong with this car. A Toyota would have last 10 times as long! Worst automobile ever!

Hate to see her go

We've had our Voyager for 4 years and I and the kids have loved her. She's been super reliable, just oil changes and preventative maintenance until now when she has a major oil leak and needs new brakes and a catalytic converter. We will keep her around for one more year for our 17 year old to drive, but as a family car, her service is done. We were rear-ended on the highway while stopped by someone doing about 45 and none of us suffered any serious injury. The size and distance from front to back and strength of the body (and the grace of God) saved us.

Car runs great when it runs and is not in the shop. After 37000 miles it needed a new transmission (not under warranty. 38000 miles needed a new head gasket. Don't buy a Chrysler product'

I like my Voyager

I bought my Voyager to replace my Toyota Corrolla(which I loved too). My teenage son's feet would not fit in the back of the Corrolla. I found my Voyager, 132,000 miles on it, test drove it and against my brother's wishes bought it. I love it! I have not had any major problems with it. The two biggest problems I have is the A/C won't hold a charge and the turn signals only work sometimes. My brother tells me I have been very lucky about the transmission, but mine seems solid. I love that fact that is can use the flex fuel.

Very Good For The Money.... : )

After driving a rental across country, I purchased a used rental with 15K miles on it & now have 97K miles with only a couple of problems. Fuel pump & window motor failed ( warranty work ). With 75% of my driving being highway, it's very good on gas, smooth, quiet & comfortable. Currently looking for a 2003 Voyager.

Bought this at 110k; of course tranny went out at 121k. Fixed horn, water pump, fan blower motor, and A/C compressor is about to go out soon I think. If it weren't for that pesky tranny that most of us experience, it would be a lot better. Since I didn't buy this for a luxurious ride, it's basically a get around town van for large families. If you want a better ride, spend the cash and get a Sienna. You get what you pay for each month.
